We are pleased to forward and share with you (see attached) the DRAFT Government Working Safely During COVID-19 Guidelines for the Re-Opening of some Tourism and Hospitality Businesses, in line with the Government’s Roadmap for Recovery Plan.
We are now hopeful that some of our Tourism and Hospitality Businesses will be given the ‘green light’ to open shortly.
Getting Open Ready
Now is the time for you to start getting prepared for reopening (if it is your intention to do so). To help you, we recommend you review and start to action the COVID-19 ‘controls’ detailed in the attached draft document, bearing in mind that the final and approved Government Guidelines will be published later in June, (for the anticipated July opening and phase 3 of the Recovery Plan).
It is important that we manage your expectations and want to highlight the following:
Please don't hesitate to contact us if you need any further information. We will endeavour to keep you updated as the Government develops its guidelines. The critical issue is to ensure that you don't open until you are fully ready and can comply with the new regulations (once published). We would also strongly recommend applying for a Visit England Accreditation certificate once their scheme has gone live so you can prove that you are operating safely. We will send you full details once the scheme is live.
